Buttonwillow 13CW test & tune day 12.08.2012
Video from Buttonwillow open test & tune day this past Saturday.
First time out with NT01 and finally broke past 2:06. Did 2:03, but if I attack the lines at Riverside and Sweeper a bit better next time, 2:02 and even 2:01 should be attainable soon. .

Thanks man. Yeah, there were at least 3 of us there in our group with NT01. What can I say - much better than R-S3, but of course, you know that. But, with as many as 8 to 9 laps on some sessions, I was overheating the tires by running all of them as hot laps. They got greasy on latter laps and I was sliding around. Good times. What will you be running next? Did you get another set of NT01?

Yeah I'm going to stick with NT01's for now. I feel I got the more laps out of them then the RS3's and they are about the same price.
I checked on the R888 and the new Hankook TD's but they are a bit more $$ |

You California guys are so lucky, you get to tack all year round .
The white stuff is all over the place up here and it is a four month wait until the next track day . As usual, nice driving OC . |

Anyhow, I know there are several seconds to shave off just by attacking certain sections with better lines. From this point on, (as I don't plan on any engine/exhaust tunes or mods nor aero) it's all up to me to get to that 2:00 mark - better lines, better driving, better strategy, etc. Quote:
We indeed are lucky. I'd go stir-crazy if I had to hibernate for four months... I'll be sure to post track videos regularly for y'alls consumption as a substitute. Thanks CanAutM3.
